After a two-day search of the sisters' apartments revealed letters against the Revolution, they were transferred to the Conciergerie on 10 July 1794.
In 1794, after the Terror began, the government searched the sisters' apartments for two days and found letters revealing their "crimes": hostility to the Revolution, strong sympathies to the monarchy, and evidence that they continued to live as a community of consecrated Christian women.
